From February to mid-August in 19, the people of China made a lot of efforts and sacrifices. Medical workers, like soldiers, stand in the front line of fighting the epidemic, working overtime day and night, risking being infected by the virus, and investigating and treating community citizens. In some epidemic areas, people abide by the strict community management system, confine themselves to their homes and isolation points, sacrifice their normal lives to protect their health from COVID-19, and do their part for community epidemic prevention. Some college students can't attend classes, and they can only finish their studies by staying at home and watching online classes for 8 hours every day. Some students can't go out in isolation until March and April, which brings a lot of inconvenience to life and study. The losses caused by the COVID-19 epidemic to the country and society are obvious to all. Everyone paid a different price for this, but also brought different pain.
Lifestyle suddenly changed dramatically, especially for people trapped in the center of the epidemic. In the process of diagnosis and treatment, the psychology of COVID-19 patients has been changing. At the same time, some comments on the internet during the epidemic prevention period and the comparison of epidemic prevention and control at home and abroad have gradually grown in the process of change, which can be felt as a baptism of the soul. At first, in Fangcang Hospital, patients with mild illness must have suspicious pessimism and fear of COVID-19. People in the intensive care unit must have a desperate mentality to deal with COVID-19, and physical and psychological torture further challenges people's mental health problems. Fortunately, there are optimistic people in the hospital to drive the atmosphere, dance square dances, perform sitcoms, and post them on some social platforms, which is reassuring. In the intensive care unit, there are relatives, encouragement from medical staff, mutual trust and understanding between doctors and patients, which can also bring them a lot of relief.
Objectively speaking, the emergence of these psychological states is partly due to the impact of the SARS incident 17 years ago on China society. People born in China in the 1990s and before still have a deep impression of that acute infectious disease. Therefore, after COVID-19, some media and experts emphasized that COVID-19 is not equal to SARS, but the initial panic of the people really came from the heart, even after receiving treatment in COVID-19. It is doubtful whether there will be a certain degree of sequelae like SARS. Fortunately, there is a good social networking platform now, which makes the release of some information timely enough, and medical workers like Zhong Nanshan are reliable enough, which gives us the confidence to fight the epidemic and the ability to defend our right to life and health to the end.
Academician Zhong Nanshan has never forgotten his duty as a doctor. From the previous interviews and interviews, we can see that Academician Zhong is an old gentleman with excellent medical ethics and skills. His concern for patients' physiology and psychology runs through. He insists that it is urgent to fight against chronic diseases. It has always been a good habit of Academician Zhong to determine the importance of prevention, treat patients like friends and establish a relationship of mutual trust with patients. Even the tense doctor-patient relationship is not a problem for Academician Zhong. Later, we noticed that Academician Zhong often mentioned the patient's physical and mental state during the press conference, medical study lectures and interviews during the epidemic, and always looked at the problem from the patient's point of view. This is why Academician Zhong Nanshan attaches so much importance to mental health.
